What is the treatment directed at?
After examination and diagnosis, the specialist prescribes treatment aimed at eliminating the main manifestations of the disease, namely:
- menstrual cycle disorder;
- a violation of the production of female hormones( estrogen, progesterone);
- absence of ovulation.
If a girl does not plan a pregnancy in the near future, the doctor will appoint her to take contraceptives containing a combination of synthetic female hormones. Adherence to these medications makes the menstrual cycle regular. After the termination of reception, ovulation resumes and the girl can become pregnant. If the patient seeks a specialist to become pregnant in the near future, she is prescribed a drug that can cause ovulation.
Treatment can be complicated by overweight and obesity, which are one of the symptoms of polycystic ovary. In this case, the patient is offered to lose weight, after which the ovulation can be restored. If necessary, appoint a consultation of a nutritionist.
If the described methods are ineffective, surgery is prescribed.
Symptoms of polycystosis

- increase in body weight by 7-8 kg;
- irregular monthly, broken cycle;
- complete cessation of menstruation;
- painful menstruation;
- appearance of skin problems: acne, acne, acne, increased skin fatness;

Causes of polycystic ovary
The causes of the disease have not been determined, but there are a number of possible assumptions. Namely:
- Disturbance of pituitary and hypothalamic hormone production, responsible for follicle growth and ovulation. For this reason, FSH( follicle stimulating hormone) and LH( luteinizing hormone) are prescribed. With polycystic ovary LH increased in relation to FSH.
- Polycystic ovaries on the background of the development of excess weight leads to the fact that the body can not use insulin to regulate the level of glucose( resistance).Increasing the level of insulin stimulates the production of LH and male hormones. The follicles continue to grow, but the eggs do not ripen.
- Strengthened production of male sex hormones by the adrenal glands. Usually this phenomenon is observed during puberty.
- One of the appearance of the disease is considered to be severe stress, shock, psychological trauma, which the girl experiences before puberty.
- Hereditary predisposition to the development of the disease.
- Living in regions with poor environmental conditions, a sharp change in the climatic zone can trigger the development of the disease.
